K.O. Desai
Thunderstick Operator of Bass. A man of great mystery and social prowess, known to many as K.O. he is lower (in frequency) than you’d imagine, and owns more 1980s Westone guitars than is healthy. Three cabinets of bass is a minimum requirement, yet rarely possible. In the eyes of the lawman, K.O. has previous for numerous Punk and Ska bands. Aesthetically his ‘burns are better than yours – Special Move: Vulcan Sideburns. His winter beard is not to be scoffed at. How’s your Bug? it’s getting fixed.
ALL YOUR BASS IS MINE
Matthew Hatter
Daddy Hatter is an axeminster from Fratton, his own choice. Unassuming and ‘pointing towards the drummer’ he is our flux capacitor and helps us through time. His judgment is (often) better than most, and together with his deep knowledge of guitar pedals he provides his own tone to the band. Matthew has (apparently) functional sperm, but the firm evidence has yet to be disclosed. Matt the Hat is a firm food fan, eating at some of Portsmouth’s finest eateries. Big Macs aplenty, Matthew is an eager member of the team, partaking in all related activities, including UN Day held annually.
CAN WE HAVE A REST YET?
Phil Crow
Sigh. Neigh. Phil went to a school, but not the Grammar School. Phil is our visionary, a man with a plan and a patch lead or seven. Phil knows pedals better than pedals know themselves. Baptised by Steve Albini’s Church of Oblique Strategies Phil has abilities in time keeping unknown to others – Backwards delay is his time of day. I’m sure you’ve got a guitar, you think you’re good, but do you get it? Really? Phil does more than you. Don’t ask him for help though… Oh no.
Got socks?
TAKE ME TO THE JAMES TAYLOR BRIDGE – WASH ME DOWN!
Rusty Sheriff
Man, machine, or simian? He may have a mobile disco but thinks your music is shit. Cry me a river. Rusty the lawman cares not for sentiment. Drumbs drumber than drumber, it’s drumb cubed. Legs like a bag of potatoes, Rusty’s cuts and bruises are one of his five a day. Play him a record, he’ll show you a turn. Buy him a gin, he’ll explain ohms law. Rusty is sponsored by Mega Bell Cymbals Inc, but not in the real world. The Mega Bell is a symbol (cymbal) of peace, destruction and the struggle of deafness the world over. Go buy yourself some paint, lets go and paint the town – hold on, Rusty’s in the Charity Shop. Sure you can borrow his drumb kit, no worries. Sorry for bleeding on yours.
